Open letter to Jeff: SO is awesome, but long-in-the-tooth. What it really needs is an open spec for federated, gamified Q&A. What say you? I eagerly await your enthusiastic embrace.
FAQ
Are you asking for Jeff to open the SO service?
No, we only feel that the structure of Q&A and reputation management be federated and openly specified. But we do feel that StackExchange would be the perfect name for the protocol.
Are you making an analogy?
No, though we might be modeling behavior.
- tarabukka 14y agoThat's a poor analogy. A service and a way of formatting documents are completely different. Not to mention that most ways of formatting documents have a context-free standard already.
- jonny_eh 14y agoNot all analogies have to be identical. It was close enough to demonstrate how you approach people about their projects.
